William Leith used to think that men had never had it
so good. They had power and money. They made the rules. Now, he's not so sure. As his friends confess to stress and depression,
he asks : what does it mean to be a man, if the future is female ? Featuring interviews with Giles Coren and James
Brown. 'BOYS II MEN III :
MEN IN CRISIS was discussed last Sunday Night on the BBC London Dotun Adebayo & Valley Fontaine
show. Donald Mack, one of the booked speakers, was interviewed about the event. He stressed that the evening was open both to
Men and Women. Speaking
in a personal capacity , he doubted the vast majority of men were in crisis but he accepted that there might be some specific groups of men who faced
particular challenges. He
welcomed the fact that
the evening presented an opportunity for everyone to talk positively and constructively
about men's role in a modern society.
He thought the talk on Friday gives everyone
the chance to take part in a dialogue where everyone could not only talk and listen, but could genuinely
share and explore the issues that came up. He had some of his own
ideas about which issues could be usefully be tackled on Friday but he was keen that the evening would be driven by the issues that the audience
on the day brought
up and cared about.
Being a Friday night people should of course look forward to a night where they
can unwind, mix and mingle with like minded people who are up for serious discussion but do not take themselves too seriously. Teenagers
and women are very very welcome (just please do try to bring
along any men you know too) !!
